To Dream

Hi. 36 hours till the first day of classes. My streaky blogging ends now.

To Dream

Simple topic. The dream I'm talking about is not the dreams we have at sleep. It's about our ambitions. Our goals in life.

Dreaming is a big thing. You know, people say that you should dream all you want 'cause it's all for free. It's big because it's a factor that sets the directions of our lives.

We want to become our dream. Become who we want to be. Do what we want to do. But dreaming is only positively big for those who are able to become their dream. Big for those who can look back and say to themselves they have indeed become the dream. At that point, dreams give birth to a feeling called hapiness. While some may have difficulty describing it, I consider it a feeling that has the ability to make a person smile.


It's the complete opposite for those who do not become their dreams. Dreams turn to nightmares. Frustrations. It's negatively big. It only makes a person regret his life. This happens when you're contented with dreaming. It doesn't get anyone anywhere.

Dreams are things that we know we can do. You can't say you want to become a singer but you don't have a good voice. Acceptance plays a huge role in dreaming. We must accept we are not capable of all things. If you're naturally inable to do something, then don't aspire to do that something.


If you dream of something you can do, don't wait for the dream to become itself, because that never happens. You have to do it yourself. Goals are achieved through hard work. Dreams only guide us. It's as simple as being in a cave, and you see light at the end. Last time I checked, the light never came to the person inside the cave. You have to approach that light.

The light is your dream. You want to get there, so you'll have to walk or crawl. Caves aren't smooth. You have to work hard. If you don't, you'll be stuck in the darkness. You'll be one of the many, yes, many, who regret what they've done to their lives. Don't wait for that to happen.

Do something about it as soon as, perhaps now.

Dreaming is the only the beginning. It's the easiest part. Living it is the most dificult. And to become your dream, is the best fulfillment of all.

Did David Cook Deserve The Win?

Hi, I'm blogging today to talk about the results of American Idol. So, really,

Did David Cook Deserve The Win?

To be honest with you, I'm not a fan of either one but I know in myself that I wanted Archuleta to win. Again, in all honesty, I do not hate David Cook. I think he's a teriffic performer with a nice voice. He has that rock star capability but he can hit some of the higher notes. I can't deny that, and I can't take that away from him.

I have a bit of a problem with his voice though. I really think he sound like Lifehouse's lead vocals, or maybe hat's just me. I hear a few bands with the same style. I'm not sure what I should call it, but it some kind of "making the throat rough", so when the voice comes out, it's a bit modified.

That's not going to be by any chance a basis for my answer to the question/topic.

I truly believed after watching the top three performance night that Cook would win the title. There was no doubt he was the best performer, and he outmatched the guy with the same name as his. All Cook had to do was ride his momentum and Archuleta would have been done for.

All my beliefs changed after the final performance night.

D.A. came out on stage hungrier than D.C. It didn't show if you just watched them. A balladeer doesn't have the same charisma as a rock star.

If you just watched the Davids, it would show that DC wanted it so much more. DA was just a small guy with a good voice, nothing more. He would raise his hands a bit, and that was all. You can't "feel" Archuleta.

If you listened to them, it would be a different story. David Archuleta, in all his 3 songs was at his best. It's as if the top 3 performance night was so long ago. DA showed up. He showed to the world what an American Idol is supposed to be like. Talented. Determined. Driven. He showed us his best. That's what the show is about.

To be fair with David Cook, I think he's still the better David in terms of talent at this point in time. DA may be young, but that won't cut it.

The better David in the finals?

Archuleta.

David Cook, no matter how teriffic he is, didn't flash before our eyes how magnificent he can be. I heard it from him. He didn't want to do something he's already done before. It's nice to hear that from him. He wanted to try something new. At the finals. That wouldn't work. And it didn't. Really. American Idol is about finding a star, according to Simon, and in the finals, DC didn't shine very well. What the people wanted to see is not a new David Cook. People wanted to see David Cook at his finest, rockin'! I expected him to bring the house down. Instead, he sang a weak song to end his three chances. Bad song choice. It kept us from seeing the David Cook we wanted to see.

Archuleta gave us possibly his best night, while Cook tried a song or two that hindered his magnificent form from landing into our eyes and ears.

What DA did was he improved his style and gave it to the audience. It was a very good performance, excellent actually. He wanted to make sure he'd be the American Idol by doing his best in his style.

DC didn't show up. If there was a fourth song, maybe he'd do Soulja Boy's "Crank That".

For me, Cook did deserve the win, but he doesn't deserve to be called better than Archuleta. While it shows, Cook didn't beat Archie in the finals.

Good thing, when Cook goes on to record songs, he won't be deciding on the songs he'll do. We won't hear him rap. So, it was OK, I guess.

Caring Too Much

Hi! It's me. Again.

Caring Too Much

This is one of the topics that I really have experience in. I think I can't go wrong. But that's just me. Of course, I'm not always right. And of course, I only said that to make people who are included in this topic, well, shut up.

I absolutely have no problem with people who care for others. I actually love 'em, because when a person's having any kind of breakdown, be it emotional or something else and you're there to "catch" them, that's cool. You're being unselfish.

That being said, the title will not really indicate which person I'm going to "take down". In my blog, there's a difference between the people I hate and the people I try to teach a lesson to.

Now, onto the problem. You see, caring too much has its downs, no matter how much people would look up and say to you you're such a kind person. In an exaggerated case, you might even be the toy of the person you care for, after for example, catching that person after a big emotional fall a year ago. "Do this for me, carry this for me, act like a dumbass". Oh sorry, that wasn't an exaggeration. That really happpen(s/ed).

Look. If you think that doesn't happen, look at very young kids. If their parents spoil them too much, they tend to be, well, uhhhhmmm... Spoiled. "Daddy, buy me this. Mommy, carry me! Daddy, let's go to Disneyland! Mommy, let's go to the park!" I hope you see now. There's quite a similarity.

The person cared for too much becomes spoiled, and that's a truth if that person can't appreciate. It's also true if that person, despite being overcared(is there such a word?!) for, did not recover from her/his breakdown. After about a year, that person can't let go. That's a big problem. That's why the person can't appreciate afterall. Because it's ineffective. There are A LOT of other reasons why a person can't appreciate. And, to tell you the truth, most people can't appreciate even if they say they do.

The spoiled person becomes a silent monster. Wow, you must be wondering if I had the right to say that. HOW?!

That person becomes, well, used to the fact that he/she is spoiled. She believes she can never lose, and that she's always the hero(ine). She also believes she's the know-all. Sorry I forgot the "/He" after the she's, it's just too long.

So, for example, a guy cares for a girl so much that after, like I said above, had an emotional breakdown, he "catches" her. After a year, he becomes a toy. So the girl has a rough year after her breakdown, after being left by someone she loved(gee, I don't know, could be a guy.). After a year, the girl hasn't recovered yet. She's still in love with that guy/person. After all the effort the guy did, the girl still can't appreciate.

Up until now, the girl still doesn't know what happened. "Why did he leave me?"

The guy tells her it's as simple as "I just don't love you". The girl thinks, "Unacceptable."

That's the problem with spoiled people. They never accept anything. They think it's all about themselves.

What happens in that example is that she destroys the images of the people she thinks are involved. They always want to win. No matter what. They become the silent monsters I told you. People like that don't directly destroy you. They destroy you by giving to the people your bad side.

They can't accept direct truths that are against them. Like if they're unwanted, if they're unloved. It can't be as simple as that for them. They always need a reason. Those two things are abstract and there's no real explanation.

They can't have everything they want. They can't take that. If they can't have what they want, they talk to everyone else. "What do you think of me? In your opinion, why [insert scenario here]?" If they don't get the answer, they cry and that's when they turn to silent monster mode. When they do that, there's no sign. You won't recognize it.

That's the problem with people who have monster tendencies. You never know if they really are monsters. They may look innocent, arguably beautiful, but then again, you can't judge a book by its cover. The inside may be bad.

That's why you can't care too much. You never know who would turn out to be a monster. You might even end turning them into monsters just because of your saintly trait. It's ironic, but that's how it is.

Just accept it.

Dig Deep

Hi. I'm blogging rapidly because I'll already be going to school on May 26.

Dig Deep

I'm a young guy, 16. I just graduated from high school. Despite being young, I've seen a lot of things.

Corrupt government. Cheaters. Whiners. Dishonest people. Then there's something normal to my age, SCL.

You must be wondering what SCL is.

So
Called
Love

Wow. You must think I'm a hater. Please let me finish.

It's so called because I say it's not true.

I see a lot of people flirt in school, honestly, but it's not a yuck for me. I perfectly have no problem with people who want to tell the world they're in love with somebody through gestures.

Sometimes, young persons have tendencies to say they're already in love, or that they're already taken. Sometimes, you think you're already in love or you're aready being loved by a simple sharing of secrets. Ask one of my friends. I just don't want to mention names. Love as I see it isn't that low. Ask couples everywhere. Almost everyone's married not to their high school sweethearts because they find their true love somewhere else.

I don't know, really, because I've never been in those relationships but I think I'm smart enough to observe. Some might think it's cool to have boyfriends or girlfriends. It's shown in the media. Movies usually feature a guy having a girl even if it's an action or suspense movie. They make it look easy and cool. Friends may even force you to So Called Faill In Love. What happens is people fall in love for others just because it's cool and it's a trend.

I even have a friend who said our group wasn't cool because we didn't court girls or give any of them gifts. ..!..

Getting back, I also see some pairs in school. I also see websites of people who declare their very in love. Again, no problem with that. I just think that if you admire someone, it's not love instantly. Love's not like instant noodles. To admire someone is actually very low.

You admire certain aspects of the person and that person's personality, but you never really love the way that person is. When you admire and you find something not very cool about that person, people tend to be "turned off".

There's also something about mutual understanding. It's when someone admire someone else and it just so happened that both of them admire eachother. It's just two way admiration actually and it's the same thing. They both think it's love and they become temporary "lovers". When one of them does something off the hook and then the other finds out, they break up for a while. When they go back together, it's not as solid and, you know where it goes from there.

Speaking of two way SCL affairs, young people fall for reciprocated infatuation.

Some people also "fall in love" quickly. It's not that easy. I think love is best tested first. Ya know, get through all the difficulties so it's strong in the end. Experience with eachother matters. If it happens all too fast, it also goes down just as fast. Again, love isn't instant noodles.

Others take SCL too seriously that they cry too much for nothing. They think they're hurt but they're not. I don't know, but if some people try to imitate authors and make stories or essays about they SC Loved ones, that's just stupid.

Dig deep first if you think you're in love. Think about it and consider how you really feel. What I have given you might be of help. If you're one of those people above, I hope you'd understand.

In spite of the things I typed, I still know it's not all SCL. Young people can also fall in love. If you know in yourself that what you're feeling is love, go ahead end express yourself. I'm happy for you.

On the other hand, if you now know it's not really love, stop the joke.

Stop kidding yourself. Get a life.

Success

Hi. I'm blogging. Again.

Success

This is actually an issue(if it is) that most people nowadays understand. For convinience, I'll say, it's simply being able to achieve a goal. Here's the thing. Success can be viewed from two different angles.
  1. Success, as you yourself sees it and
  2. Success, as others see it.

The problem lies in those two, not in defining the word itself(success).

Here's how there are two angles. According to the definition, it's being able to achieve or meet a goal. It's not just you setting goals for yourself. Other people who watch us have expectations too. It becomes their goal for you.

You got that? I hope you did.

Example. You happen to have a goal. Due to the hype of American Idol nowadays, I'll use it.

You're a good singer and you want to know what other people think about your voice because you're not really sure. You say to yourself, "I'm going to audition and I am going to hollywood!". Those people who don't watch the show, going to hollywood is like phase 2. Right there, I guess you've made a goal for yourself.

Your mom, a woman who would like her child to become a sensational recording artist, tells you to make it and she wants you to make the finals. Now she has a goal for you too. We just picked up the two things I enumerated.

After auditioning in your hometown(i.e. Las Vegas), the three judges say yes, say you have a lot of talent and you are going to hollywood. Then they give you the ticket. You and your mom are both happy, as you have just been sent to hollywood. You're pretty much done with your business, but of course, you wouldn't waste an opportunity, right?

Come hollywood week, you get outsung by your peers. So when the results come out, the three judges say you're just not ready for the bigger things ahead. You're happy because your voice was acknowledged and t'was commended, but you just weren't ready.

It was good. Dream done. You made it to hollywood. Your voice was good. You had a chance to be shown on TV. It's time to move on, live out your life before you auditioned for the show. That was good while it lasted, you were thinking while in the elevator going down. Goal accomplished.

Back home, your mom's disappointed at hearing the news. She scolds you for not giving your best. She criticizes you and says you're not a hard worker. Yad-yada.

Even though you've accomplished your goal, you come back to your room with your head down.

You get online on your messenger and a lot of people start talking to you.

"Too bad."

"Oh well."

"There's always next time."

"You could've done better."

"I'm sorry."

Sickening messages of pity, discouraging, you thought. You then realize, they had other plans for you. You know that when you walk through the streets, you're not that cool person who they see on TV anymore. Same old you.

True, some people will acknowledge your accomplisment. Some won't. Of course the negativity of it will affect you more. Hey, if you made it through, maybe everyone might praise me. Not just some.

Having some problems on success, you go to google and you search for success. You come across a blog entitled "Gift of Thought" and you start reading.

Maybe I can help you.

With that example, I can say people think too much of how people think of us that we give too much of ourselves to them. After an achievement, we should just be proud of what we have done. We don't do things for them all the time. Keep your heads up.

It could be the other way around too, because sometimes others expect less than what we have in mind, but you still can't mind them too much. We can't have them tell us, "Well done, that's enough.".

I think that we know in ourselves which is fulfillment and enlightenment. It's our call if we stop or step on the gas.

We can only care for others if they're really affected by what we're doing. We should check if we're stepping on people but not to the extent that they'll be the ones running our lives.

We only get one shot at life. Let's make it ours.

Rant of the Day

Did you watch Game 6 of the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs between the Hornets and the Spurs?!

Horry hit West! A desperation move by the champions. They really want to retain this one. If San Antonio goes on to win this series in New Orleans, game 7, I wouldn't be happy. This is Chris Paul's time. He will knock off the champs. Horry had to make another dirty move after his blow to Steve Nash last year. They had to get Amare and Diaw off the court before they could win on the road. If West won't be 100%, I'd say f*ck you Horry! That would be the 2nd year in a row that your Spurs beat my West teams!!!

I'd have to say that was a f*cked up dirty play! Definitely unnecessary! Get a life old man!

Thanks for reading!

What is Blind?

Hi! I came home just yesterday from Boracay. Right now I just came from driving school. Just had my orientation. Speaking of orientations, I had already gone through mine for the university I'm going to study in.

The topic I'm going to write about might seem uncharacteristic of me, but I want to add flavor to my blog. Isn't it always nice to have someone surprise you?

So, to surprise you, or not...

What is Blind?

First off, let's take it literally. What IS blind? Blind is a word used to describe a person who cannot see. Unfortunate fate. Miserable. Pitiful. For me, I feel bad whenever I see blind persons. I see them play instruments in groups. In front of them is a box with a hole on top so you can place coins in them. It's a heavy feeling to carry. (I do not know if this is right English)

Blind people cannot see, so they are basically unaware of what their surroundings look like.

Figuratively, a blind person is someone unaware of the truth. He is unable to see what is real, unable to see through lies. Unable to see through the clouded thoughts his enemies feed him.

Now, to substitute words. What is blind?

Judging from the first few statements, would you like to try and guess?

...
...
...

Love is blind. Cheezy mayhem. True, but I have dreamed of writing about an abstract aspect of a man's personality. What a perfect topic to begin with. Though without true experience, I would like to share with you a product of my immense imagination and brilliance. While I may have used brilliance to look like it is for self glorification - it is a mere booster of confidence as I go along. (This is new territory for me, and maybe you can either help me do more or stop doing these topics by simply commenting, whether you are on my blogger or multiply.)

Again, love is blind. Whether you have used the dictionary definition or the figurative implication, I really don't care, we'll all arrive at one point.

Actually, true love is blind.

True love cannot see the faults and wrongs of its recipients. You can't truly love and say, "I love you, but I won't love you anymore if you change". Love pushes through even the darkest hour, because when you love someone, you love that person because you just do, not because you are forced to or because you found comfort in that person.

Love is blind when you love somebody and never really care about what he or she does. True love is only true love when it's blind, when you're prepared to accept personalities those below set the standards you once have set.

Love can only feel. It gives it's approval of true love when your heart feels light everytime your receiver responds to you. The heart is an organ inside our body and tot ake it figuratively, it only feels. It is never able to sense the outside of our system.

Figuratively, too, it's the reason why, if we look around, people who are dating eachother aren't always the prefect match. There you have it. Love is blind. That's why love stories have poor people fall in love with rich ones and vice versa. People with different religions fall in love. It doesn't really matter what people say for a love that's blind. There's not always an explanation.
Love is blind. It, too, is magic.

Hannah Montana Steam

Hi! I'm blogging and blogging and blogging. Got home two hours ago from the University(De La Salle University) I'll study in. It was a whole day of non-sense and I expect tomorrow to be no different. When I was in my block, I was really silent. I know I wasn't not like that back in my Senior Year. I miss my old self. I miss that comfort.

However, life goes on and I'll have to adjust for 2 terms. After that, another adjustment. It might seem like I'm complaining, but i do NOT regret that decision.

Hannah Montana Steam

The first time I saw Hannah Montana(a year or so ago) on Disney Channel, I didn't really have anything to say. I didn't care at all. I mean, I was 15 years of age. Why should I like her songs? I have never listened to Miley Cyrus' songs. I just see them on TV when I'm scanning channels.

As time went on though, she goes on to be a super famous singer and her hits become more and more noticeable. The craze has gone through the minds of her audience like plagues that used to wipe out an entire town back in the day. It's like fire feeding off paper and wood to burn a house down.

Then a night came. I was scanning channels and then I hear people talking about Miley Cyrus. It was on The Insider.

I thought, De Javu.

Since when did the mature showbiz guys care about Disney's products?

I saw them make fun of Britney after she got pregnant. Britney, I think, had her share of memories with Disney. I heard them talk about Lindsay Lohan. After her career crashed. I watched them show Vanessa Anne Hudgens' photos. Censored because they were nude.

And just like the three I mentioned, they were talking about another career that is on the brink of downfall. Good thing it stayed there. Here's another star who has kids for her target market. And she risked her career. She really did. How?

She posed like an adult on Vanity Fair.

After typing those sentences, I wasn't thinking De Javu anymore. I was thinking...

Quade Javu. Yes, I made that up.

Miley Cyrus could say she did it because it's a part of growing up. I understand that.

How about her fans? The kids. Newsflash, most of her fans are kids. Isn't she supposed to be a role model? Is Miley thinking her child fans would pose sexily with bedsheets? No, no.

Yes she has freedom but now is not the right time to do that. Kids admire her too much. What a show. It's timing was as bad as it gets. Her career was rising. She had captured the hearts of her child viewers. And then she almost puts it to waste. She's seen it happen to Disney gals. Why let it happen to herself?

I hope we are not looking at one plus quade javu. I hope that doctors have not found a cure for Miley's plague. I hope the firefighters aren't here yet to put out Hannah Monatana's fire.

Why? It would break children's hearts, fragile as they are. I might sound like I'm exaggerating, but... If you're an 8 yr old boy and you're an avid fan of say... Batman, and Batman gets killed by the Joker? Wouldn't that be sad?

One more thing... Is Miley trying to get teenagers' hearts? That isn't gonna happen. As a guy, I can see that Lindsay has a better body than her. And I still think Lindsay's low.

Safe to say, what an Miley is not made for that kind of stuff yet. She also has not considered everything when she did that. She skipped her loving fans while thinking. This is not her time. She is on the rise and she just might have wasted that. She may do that only when she's desperate for fame again. That too might not be far ahead.

I heard the firetruck's already left the station.

Yes, the cure has not been found out, but the doctors seem to be almost there.

Destiny

Hi. Moving on...

Destiny

... And I'm still struggling with title-making again. Whatever. Though I do find the one word title kind of... Strong. Or maybe that's just me.

Or maybe it's the word.

It's a very famous word coming out of the mouths of your movie or TV heroes. They say that only you can control your own destiny. They say that our future is in our hands - that nothing can take that away from us.

That's true, and I've been sticking to that since God knows when. I'm not particularly cautious, but I think I do a good job of reflecting on my actions, and I try to do something about them when they turn out to be wrong. Something's not right here though.

You know how some people ask you and your answer would be "It depends if it's this or that"?

Well you get it. Control of your destiny - it also depends. You don't have a full grip on it but you influence it. Oh - don't be confused. There are some cicumstances in life that are out of our reach.

If you knew that now, in your future endeavors you, won't be so shocked.

There are times that we try so hard, and we put our heart into everything we do but we come up short. Trying your best IS the best thing to do if you want a good future ahead of you - if you want to go on destiny's good side.

Don't be too optimistic, though.

Trying your best is the best thing to do, but doing your best isn't always enough.

When your best isn't enough, don't be too disappointed, because you did everything you could. Be happy for yourself because you were able to unleash all your abilities to try to achieve your goal.

When you fail while doing your best, don't put your head down because destiny will prey on you. It's all a matter of acccepting the fact that we don't totally control our destiny. Even the best of our abilities may not be enough to reach our goals and ambitions because like I've been repeating to you each and everytime in this entry, we don't have a hand in it all.

In the end we just have to accept that fact. In the world, things happen, and some of these things may affect you. You'll just have to cope with these things that you can't control.

Your destiny will await you in the future, and if you handle yourself well despite the bad things, and at that doing your best, you won't be putting down your head once you and your destiny meet.

While all I've been talking about is the negative side, that's not all of it. These things you can control could also be good for you.

We also have majority of the control of our destiny, I just informed you that not everything's in our control but we still pretty much have most of it.

This was a post to keep you from failing even more if you fail at trying to achieve your goal. No one deserves to blame himself/herself after trying his/her best. Acceptance is a part of a good meeting with our destiny.

I hope I was of help to anyone.

... And then I'll introduce a new part of my blog.

Rant of the Day!!!

"Rant of the Day" will not always be in my blog entries.

Why are people so obsessed with iPods that they'll kiss the asses of the people who made it? I don't get it. I just hope noone fills a 2GB memory stick with photos of iPods. That will really suck. I mean, do they feel like they could die already after having one? It feels good to have one but it isn't everything! The way they adore these things, it's as if they were born for just that.

Sorry. I just shared.

Thanks for reading.

Common? Come on...

Hi. So, in truth, I wasn't able to do a post in a week. I did say, however, that I would try. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed but what matters is I'm typing again. Let's go straight to business.

Common? Come on...

I tried...! It's not half a good title but I guess it'll do. So... Common?

Something common is something you see everyday, or almost everyday. It's the usual thing. Right? I think you know what I'm saying. It's definitely the same thing as normal. You know. It's a regular thing. It's NOT at all special.

Hey, normal and common, they aren't by any chance different, I think. My teacher told us they're the different, and I think he's wrong. He told us that what is common isn't normal. Don't you think he's wrong? He likes promoting his school, but if he promotes his school, and what he tells us is wrong, wouldn't that make his school stupid?

If my definition is wrong, feel free to criticize, I don't care. That's not even my focus.

You wake up everyday, and go about your own businesses, and there are things you encounter... Which are... Common. These common things, in society, sometimes they become trends.

Trends are standards people go with because most people go with it too. You might be able to call it a bandwagon, but I'm not so sure about definitions so I'll play safe.

When you don't "go with the flow", people usually think you're stupid, weird or "not cool". When that happens, the "not cool" guy loses his composure and then himself. He goes with the trend because he thinks he has no choice. He doesn't want to be the odd guy. That, actually, is a common thing, we all adjust if everyone thinks that what we're doing is wrong.

Isn't that right? We care so much about what people think is right that we forget our own side. We forget to listen to ourselves. So to correct my teacher, it's not "what's common is not normal", it's "what's common and normal isn't always right".

Again.

"What's common and normal isn't always right."

If you'd cooperate, please open your Notepad or Microsoft Word. Type it. Ten times.

...
...

Did you do it? If you did, that's cool. If you didn't, you're right. You didn't have to.

There's a big problem about this trend thing. Like I said, you'll lose your composure and then yourself. How do you lose yourself?

A guy walks along a hallway with ladies in the chairs at the sides of the hallway. He sees a candy wrapper on the ground, stops. He was about to pick up the wrapper when all the beautiful ladies watching him started laughing. Noticing that, he instead ties his shoelaces. He pretended to do that.

Without the trend that guys who do that are weird, he could've done a small thing to save earth. Unfortunately though, he doesn't want to be laughed at. He lost his truthfulness to himself, because he knows that it was right, but because of the trend, he comes up with the conclusion that it's wrong.

Whenever you go out and present yourself to the public, be ready to be stormed by trends that might alter your personality. Protect your own beliefs.

How do you do that? Take your time to think. Solidify your own opinions and figure out what truly is correct. Figure out what really has to be done. If you know in yourself that what you're doing is right, when you go out and go public, it'll take more than a trend to bring you down. You might be even good enough to stand for yourself and inform everyone they're wrong.

I'm brave enough to say that people who exchange their own ideas for trends are weak. Only those who believe in their own ways are strong, and my God, you can not survive in this world if you're too weak. You'll have no identity if you adjust to trends too much. It's as if there's no real you.

Common? C'mon....
